Danny Boyle's 127 Hours earned a lot of critical acclaim for its realistic depiction of hiker Aron Ralston hacking off his own arm with a dull penknife, but it turns out it could have been even more painful to watch. Famous pouter Luke Perry recently revealed to Access Hollywood that he had his gorgeous eyes on the project first. And that wasn't the end of his vision for the film - he also wanted to cast probable celebrity Brian Austin Green in the lead role that was eventually played by James Franco. Perry adds: "I thought he'd be great in that part, but Danny Boyle, he got it.” Damn it! (Image and info via The AV Club)
